'56 F100 intervention

My buddy Bill has had his truck at a local "shop" for two years.......the guy still hasn't touched it. So a few of us went over with a trailer today and rescued it.
Bill's in his mid 70's and not in the best of health, and wants to drive his truck again before it's too late. So I volunteered to try to get it running again. This is a sweet truck. I've tried to buy it from him several times, but no dice. His dad bought it new from the local ford dealer. Here's some pics...... |

And here's a couple of the truck that towed it over.................thought you guys might like it.
My buddy Mel's 5/8 scale Peterbilt. Has a 6.9 diesel and both rears are drivers. It's a work of art/labor of love. Flat AWESOME! He also has a matching lowboy trailer for it! |

He wants me to swap in a Chevy 350 he has.....I'm trying to talk him out of that. Gonna see whats up with the Y block first. |
You're a great man Scott!
Keeps us informed of how this is going. I'm confident you can get the Y block running smooth. I wish we could all run over there and have a work day. |
Find out what kind of hasn't run right in years problem it has. Perhaps it has way more carburetor and coil than it needs. Very commendable on your part.

Subscribing.
